Mark Krikorian from the National Review Online has a great suggestion on how we can all fight back against the divisive racial classifications perpetuated by the government via the Census.
Mark’s recommendation is to enter “American” as our response to Question #9 on the 2010 Census Form that will soon be mailed out to all American households.
We urge you to do this and stop the continual segregation of America into more and more racial classes. We are one people and one country under God. We are all Americans!

My race has always been “HUMAN” but I am glad to become “American” or even the hyphenated “American-American” if either becomes popular.
I’m only filling in the number of people in the household. My answers to all the other questions is that they do not have Constitutional Authority to require me to provide that information.
In that way I will have answered all the questions. Nine of the questions just won’t have the answers they would like to receive.
My race is NASCAR.
Good one!
Great idea — I will do exactly that.
This is a good idea.
Tell everyone !
For my race, can I put down “100 meter dash” even though I haven’t run it in 40 years?
I think there is an argument to be made for incorrect answers, garbage in garbage out. Or for the strict constitutional answer.
I’m going to do it.

“Tour De France” can work also! :)
The 5th I imagine is a good answer as a lower court may not have authority to rule on that answer.
Race? Occasionally, but not so often as I grow older. The same answer applies to “Sex.”
Yup, Human. Nice one.
I’ll go with “Human-American”
via the Census? Yeah right, as if it is the real impetus for our racial divisions. While the government does us no favors in this department and I agree has no right to even ask this question I am sure The Black & Hispanic Caucuses agree. They will disband immediately and ask the thousands of race political and lobbying groups to follow suit.
Meanwhile LaRaza and the invasion continues and we have Black Liberation Theology in the White House but we are going protest by not answering the race question on the census. That will straighten out our race relations in this country. We will be singing Kumbaya in no time.
The Marxist are laughing their asses off.
That’s been my race for the 1980, 1990, and 2000 Census responses. I may stay “HUMAN” if that seems popular. Helpful answers are none of their business.
OK, for sex, do we just put Yes?
Yes, I have heard that some people will answer citing either the 4th and/or 5th amendments. That could be another way to go.
Just phrase it so that you are answering the question, ie - My answer is that I assert my 4th and 5th amendment rights regarding this question.
The technicality that they could try to get people on is that they didn’t answer the questions. IN fact you have answered the question, it’s just an answer they didn’t particularly want. And I say I did answer, you just didn’t like what my answer was. Now get off my property or I’m calling the sheriff.
